Hello together,
when filtering in discover/movie with specified watch_region and release_type, the filter works as expected, but the returned field release_date seems to be the primary_release_date instead of the release_date filtered by watch_region and release_type.
Example:
Result:

It's correct that the movie is included since the release_date in Germany (DE) for release_type 3 is the 2023-11-02.
Based on the documantation thats says: "The date returned will be the first date based on your query (ie. if a with_release_type is specified). It's important to note the order of the release types that are used. Specifying 2|3 would return the limited theatrical release date as opposed to 3|2 which would return the theatrical date", I am expecting the release_date from Germany for release_type 3 in the JSON.
However the received date is 2023-09-15, which is the primary_release_date
Is this behaviour intended or a bug?
Thanks in advance
Christian

Hi @Chris_2000, you should use "region" instead of "watch_region". See the documentation.
"watch_region" is for filtering watch streaming providers like Netflix, etc.

Hi robbie,
thank you very much! That was my mistake. It's working now.
